The 2 Minute Word
God Hired You
Colossians 3:23-24 Amplified Bible (AMP)
23 Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men,
You know that job you hate doing? The one you complain about day and night? You know the job that you wish you could call in sick to everyday?
Yes, that job…
Did you know that the job you have been given is a blessing? Regardless of all the awful people who hang around your desk, or the rude customers that come up to your counter, even the countless people who seemingly on purpose remove the leash from their dogs at the sight of you coming up the pathway.
That job is a blessing from God, and you need to understand its purpose. The kingdom of God works on trail basis always. God may have assigned you to a job just to see how well you will do, even though its not even close to the real job He has planned for you. It’s a test.
Do whatever the job is as if Jesus himself is your supervisor. Do it to the very best of your ability!
It is amazing to me when I read the back story of many of today’s millionaires, movie stars, athletics. Lauren Hill did work at Footlocker, Beyoncé swept hair at her mom’s hair salon, Jennifer Anniston, Nicki Minaj waited tables. Imagine Nicki taking your order at Red Lobster. Johnny Depp was a pen salesman. Tom Cruise was a porter at the hotel.
The owner of Amazon was a stockbroker. The founder of Sears worked on the railroad. Brad Pitt was the guy standing outside the chicken place in the chicken custom jumping up and down trying to get people to come in and try the chicken.
This is Tris No H reminding you that God loves you, and He knows how to get you to the desires of your heart. So work the job wherever He has placed you always, doing your best. Work it like God is your supervisor and remember Heaven is always watching.
Peace
